AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Requires a local operator SSH account or in-container foothold (PR:L, AV:L); Docker-socket abuse is straightforward (AC:L); container escape to host is a scope change (S:C) yielding full root (C/I/A:H).

Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass. This vulnerability is considered critical because a low-privileged operator with SSH access to the SCG host can gain root-level access to the host without requiring a password by leveraging the exposed Docker socket. Additionally, an attacker who compromises a service running within the orchestrator container can access the same socket and escape the container boundary to obtain host-level control. Dell recommends that customers upgrade at the earliest opportunity.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires local access to the SCG host: specifically an operator account with SSH access to the appliance, OR the ability to compromise a service running inside the orchestrator container. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a local vector with total host compromise and a scope change (container-to-host escape). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the SCG 5.0 Appliance to 5.36.00.16 or later and the SCG 5.0 Application to 5.36.00.00 or later, per Dell DSA-2026-382 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000503426/dsa-2026-382-security-update-for-dell-secure-connect-gateway-virtual-edition-multiple-vulnerabilities). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify and inventory all Dell SCG deployments (both Appliance and Application forms), review recent SSH access logs for suspicious activity, and immediately restrict SSH access to authorized administrators only through network-level controls. …
